What Would Friends Look Like Without the Jokes?

You probably loved Friends best for its jokes. Understandable! It’s a sitcom, after all. But what if it didn’t have any jokes? Stay with me here — what if Friends merely went from Point A to Point B with no punch lines in between? Thanks to YouTube’s Tunglebrek, you can watch an entire episode of Friends (“The One With the Apothecary Table”) without the jokes and discover that it’s somehow … still pretty funny. Ross’s too-loud yelling makes the cut. That’s funny. And so does the fact that guest star Elle Macpherson probably had very few jokes to start with because she’s in a surprising amount of this no-jokes recut. You can even tell who makes the most jokes, because he’s barely in this 2:42 minute video: Chandler. Laugh it up.

More Friends? More Friends! We’re counting down all month. See what you missed here.
